These wonderful photos provide a fascinating snapshot of life along The Headrow in the 1930s. It proved to be a decade of huge change for the popular city centre thoroughfare. A road-widening scheme meant that the north side was constructed in the uniform style while Lewis's department store opened in the early years of the decade. Landmarks featured in this wonderful rewind include Three Legs pub, Queen Victoria statue, Paramount Theatre and Permanent House, the headquarters of the Leeds Permanent Building Society.
